This site combines 2 of my passions: knitting pictures and Avatar Meher Baba. For me they are intertwined.
     I love knitting pictures, it's like reading a good mystery - never knowing what exactly it will look like until the very end.
     The site has a gallery of my pictures, free instructions on how to make your own, free knit grid maker (contribution of my husband), demonstration of what I call 'Persian knitting' and much more.

     Meher Baba for me is God. The journey of my life, since I came to Baba, has been amazing, and knitting pictures is a part of it.  To learn more about Baba look at the links page.  Baba stories that are related to the pictures, are written in pink.

  I hope you will enjoy this site, have much fun looking at the pictures and start your own projects. Feel free to ask if you need help,

                                               Good Luck

About GAUGE: 
I use 3 kinds of gauge/ratio:
1. Hands on - by placing the piece I am knitting right on the piece I want to copy.
2. Artificial row - Here I knit from a chart on a regular, even graph paper.
Start with the right amount of sts and stop after 5-10 rows to check the ratio.
For example, if 1"=4 sts and 5 rows, I will knit an in between row every 4 rows.
3. Traditional gauge (knitting a gauge piece), which I use mainly when I want the picture to fit a particular size or frame. Not often.

'Walk in the woods'.

   Above: front cover of the book 'Knitting with Baba', a workbook for how to knit in different styles, how to knit pictures, and color knitting.
   'Color & Picture Knitting' is it's twin, but without my Baba stories.
And 'The First Time I saw the Ocean' is a children story (not just for kids) illustrated witl lots of knitted pictures.
